Five Underrated FPS Games to Keep You Busy Until October

Zavvi.com: "18 years after the original Doom, and the first person shooter genre still effortlessly dominates the international gaming landscape. Because of their bountiful prevalence, every year sees a small handful (at least) of unjustly belittled genre titles getting lost in the shuffle, many of which were thoroughly undeserving of that fate..."

That's not an FPS, it's good, but not an FPS

ATiElite4686d ago (Edited 4686d ago )

Although not underrated I'll be playing Red Orchestra 2 even after October.

Singularity is a good game people should try.

AAACE54686d ago

Do a lot of people still play Warhawk? I was thinking about getting it again, but wasn't sure because of the Starhawk announcement!

vickers5004686d ago

Unless you're really determined to master the game, I wouldn't buy it at this point because it's pretty much only hardcore players left, who will own you and only end up pissing you off.

It's a fun as hell game, but the people who mastered the warhawks hover mode kind of ruin it for every one else on the ground.

2fk4686d ago

MOH shouldn't really be there i was highly disappointed spending $60 on it but it's worth it for the BF3 beta though =)....MAG was pretty fun also =)

firemassacre4686d ago

mag was really god, also f.e.a.r that game was good

firemassacre4686d ago (Edited 4686d ago )

also anyone remember x111?

yea i meant X111

Legion4686d ago (Edited 4686d ago )

You threw me off with the no caps thing. I am assuming you meant XIII. Which was an excellent cellshaded FPS.

Legion4686d ago

I would recommend Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising be on the list. Better underrated FPS then most of the games on that list.

FunkMcnasty4686d ago

Yea, OpF:Dragon Rising was a great game.. a good dose more challenging and tactical than the average military FPS, but sometimes a bit too hard. I'm waiting to check out OpF:Red River sometime soon too..

bozebo4686d ago

I would have liked it if it wasn't so buggy (especially the AI)

Legion4686d ago (Edited 4686d ago )

I have played the game through a few times and have found only a few issues with AI. A few times of getting stuck in path finding or having issues with first aid.

But once you get that action wheel down you can quickly take control of your team. It does take some micro management... but nothing different then having to micromanage my real troops when I was in the military. ha

It is the closest game to the original Tom Clancy Rainbow Six with being able to set way points for movement. Just outside environment. And wishing I could set all the way points and then cue them like in Rainbow Six. "Go Alpha" "Go Bravo"!

I haven't heard too many good things about Red River... friends have told me it is too linear compared to Dragon Rising.

retrofly4686d ago

Red Orchestra - £6.99 from steam, but you also get the brilliant exspansion mod Darkest Hour for free too! It's online only but a throughly brilliant game if you like your realism kicked up a notch.

DH is constantly updated, the latest version 5.0 was released in may this year with new weapons, vehicles and maps :)

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

banger888d ago

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH6d ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan6d ago

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

Medal of Honor 2010 was a good start for a modern reboot. The campaign was fantastic. Multiplayer wasn't great but that's DICE's fault. I'd love if they went back to that game and gave it a proper sequel.

SlothLordPootus503d ago

I actually really liked the multiplayer in MoH 2010. Battlefield gunplay on small maps. I would love to see a Rising sun remake, the opening scene would be amazing to see.

SonyStyled503d ago

I enjoyed the multiplayer of MoH 2010. It felt like battlefield 3 in a way. The multiplayer in Warfighter was also pretty good but the campaigns single player story was not appealing with the whole family cutscene thing. Gameplay was fun though. MoH to me is the PS1/2 titles and I don’t expect to see a WW2 MoH after the last Call of Duty’s

Levii_92503d ago

PS1 MOH 1999 and 2000 (Underground) and Allied Assault PC is my childhood.. it's still soo good and it holds up. Not to mention Michael Giacchino's soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks ever made. Even if you weren't born in early to mid 90's go listen to the main theme of Allied Assault and you will be overloaded from nostalgia.

I miss this franchise a lot.

Iceball2000503d ago

I’ve always thought that MOH and Battlefield should be separate…

Have MOH as the full fledged single player with an amazing store and whatnot. And a basic multiplayer just to have multiplayer. Sorta like how the MOH reboot was.

And then have BF as the full fledged multiplayer with all effort put into that and ditch the single player. Maybe add Commander back in.

Only in a perfect world.

HeliosHex503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

Oh man medal of honor on pc was awesome back in the day. Multi-player was fun. Joined my first clan on medal of honor. Definitely deserves a comeback. But needs to be on the same level or surpass COD. Since it came out before that ip in 1999 to avoid embarrassment.

FGHFGHFGH502d ago

The guys who did Allied assault are the one who created call of duty. They're back at EA, Vince something

MadLad503d ago

I'll be the weird guy in the room and say I actually loved Warfighter. I thought the squad mechanics made it stand out a bit and thought the shooting felt good. Put a lot of time into the multiplayer.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad597d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g597d ago (Edited 597d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
